The iconic Japanese rock star has decades of hit songs and sold-out concerts, and to this day he is the most famous musician in Japan. He has also experienced firsthand the changes and challenges in the music industry throughout his storied career. YOSHIKI’s extensive experience as a producer, performer, and composer, with a keen eye for new talent, inspired him to seek out the world’s best new group unbound by any genre in these auditions. With K-Pop dominating worldwide charts and Asian stars gaining international fame, YOSHIKI has set out to personally discover the new wave of superstars with his hugely anticipated new series.

According to YOSHIKI, “Asia has become a focal point in the entertainment industry, and I am thrilled to find and launch the strongest new group to the world. There are more opportunities for Japanese artists to break through to mainstream global success than ever before. Through television and technology, doors for new artists can be opened instantly. I’m also facing challenges as an artist. Together with our new artists we can achieve next level success. I can also offer my guidance and support to help navigate the harsh and competitive music industry. That is why I started this project, to launch the best band in the world and grow together.”

For the musicians auditioning for the chance of a lifetime, YOSHIKI adds, “I want your dreams to be limitless. I want you to believe in your own potential more than you ever thought possible. Let’s face the world together. I am looking forward to meeting you all.”

This month YOSHIKI also celebrates the launch of his critically-hailed documentary WE ARE X streaming on Prime Video.
